Pasha Cafe - Braintree

I had coffee with my partner and when I went to pay the nice young waitress she told me could not take the Scottish £20 note I offered. I asked why and she said she did not know as it was a management decision. I wanted to change the note so I could tip her but the management put her in the embarrassing position of refusing my money, I am not easily embarrassed but just felt sorry for her, and also denying her a tip. As a tourist this has put me off returning to this cafe in a town where I have never had my money refused before. I know loss of my business will not make a great dent in the turnover but I am in this town a few times a year and I would imagine in the current economic climate any business would want all the custom they can get.

Been using yumy for many years and is usually good to excellent however today 30th October for some reason the standard has gone down hill which is a shame. I have seen the restaurant much busier then today and had no problem. The service was dreadful the food was served wrong and cold six times I asked for sweeteners to be bought for our coffees. The cutlery needed changing as was dirty. Sadly I’m not sure we will be returning we are feeling disappointed

So first off the delivery took almost 2 hours to arrive and to make up for it all they offered was 2 watered down milkshakes. The food itself was absolutely awful. My wrap which I asked for with ketchup came with cranberry sauce. I paid for double bacon which apparently only constitutes 2 measly rashers in the entire wrap. My sons all day breakfast was nothing short of shambolic. Apparently the photo attached is supposed to be scrambled egg but honestly is a closer resemblance to a ball of sick. I will never order from here again and I want my money back!

Great breakfast and very helpful and friendly and attentive staff . Clean tables etc A credit to Braintree Outside as well as inside tables

Couldn’t decide where to eat so settled on this little gem of a place. Located in a quiet square away from the main town, Yumy offer a great selection of food from breakfast to light lunches with a great variety in between. They also sell protein shakes, Keto shakes and ordinary shakes. I went for Chicken Royale with chips, a breaded chicken breast in a bun with lettuce and Mayo. Reasonably priced at £9.90. Service was excellent, attentive staff, very friendly and polite. You couldn’t ask for more from a town centre restaurant. A great place to meet people too.
